<br>
If you are a UK citizen or living in the UK, please write to your MP<br>
to save the life of UK citizen and prominent activist Alaa Abdel<br>
Fattah's life, who is on his 40th day of hunger strike in an Egyptian<br>
prison.<br>
<br>
Alaa, a pioneer in open source tech, and an Amnesty Prisoner of<br>
Conscience, has been kept in an Egyptian prison for two and half years<br>
without basic rights, access to books or sunlight. His visits are<br>
limited to one family member per month, for twenty minutes, through a<br>
glass barrier, without a moment of privacy or physical contact. He has<br>
been targeted repeatedly by the Egyptian regime for speaking up<br>
against their crimes.<br>
<br>
Folks are incredibly concerned for his life, and time is of essence.<br>
If you are a UK citizen or live in the UK, please write to your MP to<br>

3. Vision Change Win’s New Program: Community Safety Training Series!<br>
<br>
The virtual Community Safety training series is a chance for<br>
organizations to develop and deepen their safety and security<br>
infrastructure. At each level, organizations learn concrete strategies<br>
to identify and address risks, and to develop safety protocols.  These<br>
measures are scaled to the organization’s unique capacity, adaptive to<br>
changing conditions, and trauma-informed. Participants who plan to<br>
attend the full series may do so over multiple months but must<br>
complete within 4 months or re-register.<br>

5. Petition to Remove Voter Information in Nepal<br>
<br>
Nepal is gearing up for the second local level election on 13th May<br>
2022 since the promulgation of the Constitution of the Federal<br>
Republic of Nepal in 2015. Body & Data is currently organizing a<br>
signature campaign requesting the Nepalese Election Commission remove<br>
its database containing the personal information of millions of Nepali<br>
voters. Not only does this infringes individuals’ right to privacy,<br>
but it puts voters' sensitive data at risk of being misused and<br>
stolen. Most importantly, the information can be used for targeted<br>
surveillance and stalking of marginalized and vulnerable communities.<br>

6. The Ola Bini Trial Coming to An End, A Danger to Digital Rights<br>
<br>
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and a number of other civil<br>
society organizations released a report citing the legal violations,<br>
technical weaknesses, and political pressures in Ola Bini's trial,<br>
which is coming to an end. The report cites the danger this case<br>
presents to digital rights.  An online press conference is scheduled<br>
for May 11th where organizations will speak on the violations. The<br>
trial hearing is set for May 16-20 and will most likely conclude next<br>
week. If convicted, Bini's defense can still appeal the decision.<br>

7. Stipends Available to Attend PETS 2022!<br>
<br>
The 22nd Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium (PETS) will be held<br>
from July 11-15, 2022, with a physical gathering held in Sydney,<br>
Australia, and a concurrent virtual event.  Stipends are currently<br>
available to support both online and in-person attendance. The<br>
following groups are encouraged to apply for the stipend:<br>
privacy-interested students, professionals, scholars, researchers, and<br>
activists, especially if they are new to the privacy-enhancing<br>
technologies and related work. The annual event brings together<br>
privacy experts from around the world to discuss recent advances and<br>
new perspectives on research in privacy technologies.<br>

<br>
7. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) calls on the US to Impose Online Safeguards<br>
<br>
RSF released a statement calling on the US to enable itself to impose<br>
online safeguards similar to what the European Union is set to do with<br>
its Digital Services Act (DSA). The statement comes out partly in<br>
reaction to Elon Musk buying Twitter. RSF shares that the<br>
unpredictability of Musk’s plans together with the potential threats<br>
to free speech and access to information resulting from the lack of a<br>
US legal framework requires the White House to do what is needed to<br>
protect free expression for all.<br>
<br>
The US is home to a large percentage of the tech giants that shape the<br>
global news and information space around the world. The US government<br>
has a responsibility to address the dysfunctions caused by these<br>
digital platforms, and ensure they are regulated in a manner<br>
consistent with democratic principles.<br>

### Digital Rights Resources ###<br>
<br>
1. Protecting Digital Privacy in Any Situations re: Roe v. Wade<br>
<br>
The fears following the leaked internal Supreme Council voting<br>
decisions on Roe v. Wade has some digital rights advocates preparing a<br>
back-up plan to protect key privacy concepts. A critical component of<br>
Roe v. Wade is its determination that the “right of privacy … is broad<br>
enough to encompass a woman's decision whether to terminate her<br>
pregnancy.” But comprehensive digital privacy is challenging to<br>
achieve in an age of widespread user-tracking, location-tracking, and<br>
corporate data retention.<br>
<br>
The Digital Defense Fund was established in response to the increased<br>
need for security and technology resources in the abortion rights<br>
movement after the 2016 election. They recently released a guide for<br>
women on how they can keep abortions private and secure, and protect<br>
themselves.<br>

Electronic Frontier Foundation outlines a list of ways to stay safe if<br>
someone is concerned about unwanted data collection in relation to<br>
reproductive healthcare while navigating online resources, providing<br>
or seeking services, or organizing with others:<br>

<br>
In addition, a recent Wired article also shares some security tips,<br>
including turning off location services, locking digital devices,<br>
knowing your rights when engaging with law enforcement, and practicing<br>
caution when sharing information online.<br>

2. The Forgotten Margins of AI Ethics<br>
<br>
How has recent AI Ethics literature addressed topics such as fairness<br>
and justice in the context of continued social and structural power<br>
imbalances? This new paper traces both the historical roots and<br>
current landmark work that have been shaping the field. It categorizes<br>
these works under three broad umbrellas: those grounded in Western<br>
canonical philosophy, mathematical and statistical methods, and those<br>
emerging from critical field data, algorithm and information studies.<br>
The paper also surveys the field and explores emerging trends under<br>
the broad umbrella of AI Ethics.<br>

3. The Impact of Israel’s Digital Surveillance Regime<br>
<br>
Deep Dive, Palestine’s newest live show takes an in-depth look at the<br>
multifaceted regime of digital surveillance that Israel imposes on the<br>
Palestinian people. It also examines how these same technologies are<br>
being exported abroad, threatening the privacy and freedoms of people<br>
around the world today. On this episode, they talk to Mona Shtaya,<br>
Palestinian digital rights defender, 7amleh’s Advocacy Advisor and a<br>
resident scholar with the Middle East Institute’s Cyber Program.<br>

### Digital Rights in the Wider World ###<br>
<br>
1. #NoTech for Apartheid<br>
<br>
Last May, Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud executives signed a<br>
$1.22 billion contract to provide cloud technology to the Israeli<br>
government and military, while the Israeli military bombed homes,<br>
clinics, and schools in Gaza and threatened to push Palestinian<br>
families from their Jerusalem homes. Many believe this billion dollar<br>
contract will make it easier for the Israeli government to surveil<br>
Palestinians and force them off their land.<br>
<br>
The #NoTech for Apartheid campaign is heeding the call from over 1,000<br>
Google and Amazon workers to rise up against the contract, known as<br>
Project Nimbus. They campaing states that technology should be used to<br>
bring people together, not enable apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and<br>
settler-colonialism. They are asking Individuals that want to support<br>
the campaign to add their name to the form below.<br>

<br>
2. India and Hollywood Attempt VPN Control, but VPN Companies Refuse to Comply<br>
<br>
On April 28, the Indian government directed VPN companies to collect<br>
and store users’ data for up to five years, including names,<br>
addresses, contact numbers, email, and IP addresses. Under the new<br>
directive, VPN companies are also required to hand over the data to<br>
the government if asked. Companies that do not comply risk getting<br>
fine or imprisoned.<br>

<br>
VPN companies are resisting, making it clear that they would not<br>
comply with this new directive. Many are looking into future options,<br>
such as removing their servers from India. However, in some cases it<br>
is impossible to comply due to the VPNs overwriting user-related data.<br>

<a href="https://www.wired.com/story/india-vpn-data-law/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.wired.com/story/india-vpn-data-law/</a> (paywall)<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, major film companies are accusing VPNs of enabling a slew<br>
of illegal activity, including companies like Millennium and Voltage.<br>
In March, 26 a these companies brought allegations against ExpressVPN<br>
and Private Internet Access (PIA). Court records show that studios’<br>
legal teams have accused VPN providers of enabling illegal activity<br>
far beyond copyright infringement and are challenging the notion that<br>
VPNs should exist at all.<br>

<br>
2. Attacks of Social Media Freedom Continue in Kazakhstan<br>
<br>
An example of Kazakhstan’s ongoing repressive policies: A resident of<br>
Kazakhstan with Ukrainian citizenship was arrested and faces<br>
deportation for reposting an Instagram story supporting a May 1<br>
pro-Ukrainian rally, which she deleted prior to any legal complaint.<br>
<br>
Most recently, Kazakhstan's President recently signed amendments to<br>
the laws on “protection of the rights of the child, education,<br>
information, and informatization," that may further restrict media<br>
freedom in the country The law obliges foreign “online platforms” to<br>
register a local legal entity or representative office headed by a<br>
citizen of Kazakhstan, and remove “undesired” information within 24<br>
hours upon the appeal by an “authorized body.”<br>

<br>
<br>
3. Protest Surveillance in the US: Violating the First Amendment<br>
<br>
In recent years, police departments in the USA have engaged in robust<br>
video surveillance of protesters on a scale never seen before. For<br>
example, the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) in Oregon livestreamed the<br>
protests on their official Twitter feed — sometimes zooming in and<br>
lingering on individual protesters’ faces and shoes, apparently trying<br>
to identify certain protesters to the public.<br>
<br>
Tyler Valeska, a lecturer in law at Stanford Law School, argues that<br>
these actions violate the First Amendment, which was created to<br>
protect people in public discourse, in addition to allowing<br>
individuals to engage, associate, and communicate with others for<br>
purposes of political expression.<br>

<br>
4. Social Media Liability in Passes California<br>
<br>
The bipartisan bill Assembly Bill 2408, dubbed the "Social Media<br>
Platform Duty to Children Act", would allow parents and the state<br>
Attorney General in California to sue social media companies on behalf<br>
of their children, for harms incurred as a result of social media<br>
addiction.<br>
<br>
This bill comes after increasing evidence of the highly  damaging<br>
neurological and social impact that online platforms have contributed<br>
to, partly by designing their platforms to consistently keep users<br>
engaged. Companies deliberately devise such features because they<br>
prioritize profit over people. The bill will next head directly to the<br>
Assembly Floor later this month, where it will be debated l<br>

5. UN: “Ending the Digital Divide is Critical to Women’s Rights”<br>
<br>
On 3 May, the UN Special Rapporteur issued a Joint Declaration on<br>
freedom of expression and gender justice in collaboration with freedom<br>
of expression experts from the Organization for Security and<br>
Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), the Organization of American States<br>
(OAS), and the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights<br>
(ACHPR).<br>
<br>
The Joint Declaration stressed the responsibility of various actors to<br>
address challenges that negatively impact women’s freedom of<br>
expression, including States, the private sector, internet<br>
intermediaries and media outlets, among others. Challenges named<br>
includes social discrimination, gender stereotyping, entrenched bias,<br>
misogyny and interpretations of religion, culture and custom, as well<br>
as sexual and gender-based violence and discriminatory laws and<br>
policies.<br>

6. US May Cap Cost of Internet for Low-Income Americans<br>
<br>
The Biden administration says it will partner with internet providers<br>
to lower the cost of high-speed internet plans for low-income<br>
Americans. This is due to connectivity being viewed as a necessity.<br>
The Affordable Connectivity Program will provide plans of at least 100<br>
Megabits per second of speed for no more than $30. An estimated 48<br>
million Americans will qualify. Americans can visit<br>
<a href="http://www.getinternet.gov" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">www.getinternet.gov</a> to determine their eligibility and sign up for the<br>
program.<br>
